Abstract

Background: Hypertension causes the complication for short­term or long­term periods. Primary hypertension clinically leads to proteinuria and decrease renal function. Proteinuria in hypertensive patient is an indicator for decrease renal function. Objective: The objective of research seems to know the correlation between hypertension stage and qualitative proteinuria in the primary hypertensive patients. Method: Observational analysis with cross­sectional approach. Data collection has been conducted by consecutive sampling. The sample counts to 144 respondents selected from patient medical record data at RSUD Jombang. Data analysis employs Spearman correlation.
Result: Spearman correlation test finds that the hypertension stage and qualitative proteinuria in
the primary hypertensive patients has a significant correlation (p=0.000, < 0,05) and it has a positive correlation with weak intensity (r = 0.323). Mann­Whitney test result indicate that the significant difference becomes evident between hypertension stage of proteniuria occurrence (p=0.000, < 0,05) and the prevalence of proteinuria occurrence in the case of primary hypertension reaches 34.7 %. Conclusion: This research find that the hypertension stage and qualitative proteinuria in theprimary hypertensive patients has a significant correlation and the significant difference becomes
evident between hypertension stage of proteniuria occurrence.
